Movement and Frontal Theta Activity During Step-Based Exergaming in Healthy Younger and Older Adults: Laboratory-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Background Exergames are increasingly used in rehabilitation to simultaneously target physical and cognitive functions. Game scores are commonly used as indicators of performance, yet it remains unclear to what extent they reflect underlying movement and cognitive-control demands...

Impact of on-site mobile CT imaging on prehospital patient management during the Munich Oktoberfest: a retrospective observational before–after study at a mass gathering

Abstract Background Mass gatherings such as the Munich Oktoberfest increase demand on Emergency Medical Services (EMS), particularly for trauma patients requiring imaging. Suspected mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) often necessitates hospital referral and diagnostic imaging, pl...

The measurement of Christian nationalism in broader perspective: a systematic reevaluation

Abstract The literature on Christian nationalism has expanded and matured quickly. Nonetheless, few pieces have documented the measurement properties of its namesake concept, and those that have trumpet conclusions that vary from “the most common measure is flawed” to “Christian...

Patient-Reported Outcome scale for Bronchiectasis (BE-PRO): development and validation in China

BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have become essential endpoints in clinical trials for bronchiectasis. However, no validated PRO instrument currently exists for the Chinese population. This study aimed to develop and validate a disease-specific Patient-Reported Outco...

A Novel Teacher–Student Framework for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation in Multi-Perspective Road Pavement Damage Detection

Automated detection of road pavement damage is essential for ensuring road safety and preserving the integrity of transportation infrastructure. Traditional inspection methods often suffer from high labor demands, low time efficiency, substantial costs, and potential disruptions...

A Smartphone-Based Silver Nanoparticle Assay for Detecting Enhanced Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Content in Germinated Rice via Metabolic Modulation

Abstract This study aimed to increase the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content in rice grains and develop surface-modified silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a simple colorimetric chemosensor for its detection. To stimulate GABA production, rice grains from the Kor Kho 6 (RD6) and Kha...

Interfacial synergy in NiO-MnO2-g-C3N4 ternary heterostructure nanostructure for enhanced electrocatalytic water splitting

Developing affordable, highly stable, and efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting and hydrogen production is essential for advancing clean and sustainable energy technologies. In this study, a ternary heterostructure nanocomposite consisting of NiO, Mn...

Testing for Veridical Perception During Ketamine-Induced Out-of-Body States

Near-death experiences (NDEs) occasionally include claims of veridical perception — accurate information about the physical environment obtained from a reported out-of-body vantage point, ostensibly without ordinary sensory access. The largest attempt to test this directly (the A...

Ento-Linguistics: Language, Ambiguity, and Scientific Communication in Entomology

Descriptive Ento-Linguistic corpus analyses with a six-domain framework, a fixed-margin terminology-network comparison, and a 20-minute research lecture. Version 1.2.0 adds 600 primary and 300 protocol-sensitivity draws, full traces and independent provenance. The comparison is c...

E8‑Phi‑Coupled Phosphor‑Neural Quantum Channel — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240‑dimensional E8 root‑vector lattice, driven at a 132 Hz base frequency with golden‑ratio‑proportional phases, can lock onto phosphorus‑31 nuclear spins within biological tissue to create a continuously coherent, topologically protected quantum channel. This channel functio...

Vibration-Based Fault Diagnosis of Power-Transformer On-Load Tap Changers Using SGMD and CMPA-SMAGNet

Fault diagnosis of power-transformer on-load tap changers (OLTCs) is difficult because their vibration signals are nonlinear and nonstationary. This study evaluates CMPA-SMAGNet, a diagnostic framework that combines symplectic geometry mode decomposition (SGMD), a dual-branch mul...

Comparative physicochemical characterization and water quality assessment of drinking water from wells in Songino-Khairkhan District, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

ABSTRACT Groundwater is an important drinking-water source in peri-urban areas where centralized water supply systems are limited. This study evaluated the hydrochemical characteristics and trace-element composition of groundwater in Khoroos 32 and 33 of Songino-Khairkhan Distric...

Information design in cheap talk

Abstract An uninformed sender publicly commits to an informative experiment about an uncertain state, privately observes its outcome, and sends a cheap talk message to a receiver. We provide an algorithm valid for arbitrary state-dependent preferences that will determine the send...

Draft genome sequences of two Vibrio jasicida strains isolated from the Atlantic brief squid Lolliguncula brevis

ABSTRACT We report draft genome sequences of two Vibrio jasicida strains, LB10LO4 and LB14LO7, cultured from tissues of the Atlantic brief squid Lolliguncula brevis in Bogue Sound, North Carolina, USA.

21-Gene recurrence score assay in pN2-3 Early-Stage breast cancer: a national cancer database study

BACKGROUND: The clinical utility of the 21-gene recurrence score (RS) for guiding adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with pN2-3 early-stage breast cancer (eBC) has not been evaluated in prospective trials. This study aims to assess adjuvant chemotherapy benefit in patients with pN...

Gödel's Incompleteness: Formal Systems' Inherent Unprovable Truths — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Gödel's incompleteness theorems establish that any consistent formal system capable of arithmetic contains true-but-unprovable statements, implying a fundamental non-closure in formal knowledge. | MATH: First theorem: For any consistent, recursively axiomatizable system...

Predictors of clinical pregnancy after IVF in women with ovarian endometriomas: a propensity score-matched retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Ovarian endometrioma (OMA) is associated with reduced in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to investigate risk factors associated with pregnancy outcomes following IVF in women with OMA and assess the predictive ut...

Impact of relative humidity and PIV seeding on the electro-aerodynamic performance of needle-to-ring ionic fans

Abstract Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) fans represent a viable solid-state alternative to conventional thermal management, addressing the demand for miniaturized, silent, and vibration-free cooling in modern electronics. While Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is widely utilized for a...

Valorization of textile waste into high-strength polypropylene composites using an innovative composite fabrication method: A technological strategy towards circular economy

Excessive textile waste generation, pre-consumer or post-consumer, is a major environmental concern when dumped in landfills and incinerated in the open atmosphere. Manufacturers can explore new avenues for profit by leveraging this low-cost waste. Considering this opportunity, t...

Triplet Excimer of TIPS-Anthracene in Solution

Abstract Triplet excitons possess unique characteristics of long lifetimes and fission (singlet fission, SF)–fusion (triplet–triplet annihilation, TTA) features and hence have attracted considerable attention. Because the singlet–triplet transition is spin forbidden, leading to t...
